New Immortals Trailer Teases Ancient Bloodlust

A new trailer for Immortals draws on Clash of the Titans mythology and big 300-style battle scenes for familiar inspiration. Still, the montage of spooky masks, slow-motion slayings and muscle-bound warriors in the video above serves as a reminder that director Tarsem Singh is no slouch when it comes to crafting impressive-looking spectacle.

With a voiceover that sets up the story, the video centers on the adventures of peasant-hero Theseus (played by Henry Cavill). Theseus takes on King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) in an effort to stop the mad tyrant from unleashing the Titans in his rampage against humanity and the gods.
